TWP 100 Series Deck Stain - The Best Deck Stain

Need Help or Advice when using TWP 100 Stain?

Total Wood Preservative (TWP) Wood Deck Stain protects and prolongs all exterior woods, decks, and fences. TWP Wood Deck Stains and Sealers is a distinctive mixture of chemicals blended together to form a professional strength formula that preserves exterior wood surfaces in numerous ways.

TWP 100 Series Stain will perform at its maximum potential when the wood is properly prepped and when the stain is properly applied. Unfortunately not all wood is in the same condition prior to applying the stain.

How often do you need to restain with TWP? I stained with Dark Oak last summer and was wondering if I need to reapply ? Sometimes with other stains, it can get too thick and peel if too much is one the wood.

Went through all of the steps of stripping and applying TWP 101 last August in Minnesota and we are now seeing the deck again after a LONG winter. It looks great but it looks like a few of the knots in the wood no longer have the stain on them. Can just the knots be restained or should/could we add another coat to the whole deck?

I am looking to seal my deck on our house we just had built and finished back in Nov 2013. The deck was finished around the same time so it is about 5 months old and went through the winter without being sealed. I would say the condition and color of the wood is still good, I just want to seal it for the long term with the TWP 100 Cedartone since I believe the wood is cedar. The deck is about 12ft by 12ft so was curious how many gallons I would need? What is the best way to apply? There are also black/metal spindles so will I need to tape those off or just use a brush around them for the rails? Would like to completely seal the whole deck. Also in KS it rains quite a bit in the spring so what are the weather conditions I need to apply (temp and rain?) and since it is only 5 months old do I need to clean the deck? Sorry for all the questions, but I would appreciate the help since this is the first deck I have sealed before. Thank you

Can you tell me if I can use TWP 100 series on a new IPE deck? It has not had anything on it previously and it has not been sanded. If I can use it, do I need to wait a period of time before I can apply?Thanks!

Jim, you will need to remove the Cabot. Use the Restore A Deck stripper and a light pressure washing. Brighten with the Restore A Deck Brightener when done. Either series would work for you. Use the 100 if it is compliant for your state.

I installed a small pressure treated pine deck (250 square feet) approximately six months ago. The condition of the deck is excellent except for the uneven appearance of the sealer I applied. I applied one coat of Cabot Australian Timber Oil (natural). I would like to refinish the surface with TWP 100 of TWP 1500. What preparation should I make to the surface so that it will accept the TWP Product? Also, which product would you recommend (TWP 100 or 1500)? I am considering Pecan 120. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

We have a large deck area - 2 levels - of pressure treated pine, installed 8/2013 in N Ga that we'd like to stain this spring. New construction, no previous stain. Which is best to start - 100 or 1500? Is there any concern in using 100 first and then using 1500 later? We would rather have to restain more frequently than deal with stripping stain. Most of the deck faces north and most is covered - roof on the top deck and lower deck covered by top deck.
